Outlines and Manual for Experimental 
Psychology 

By H. L. HOLLINGWORTH, Ph.D. 

Asst. Prof, of Psychology in Columbia University 

In this volume are presented, in systematic form, the lecture outline 
and laboratory manual used in the author's classes in experimental 
psychology in Columbia University. Part I consists of the complete 
topical outline of the contents of the course, with detailed references 
for each topic. Part II contains complete laboratory instructions and 
page references for a standard selection of seventy-five experiments. 
There is also a supplementary list of optional experiments. The work 
outlined is designed to occupy about two class periods and four hours 
of laboratory, weekly, throughout one year, for students just entering 
the laboratory. The manual is sufficiently detailed and specific to allow 
the instructor to devote his time to the student and the problem rather 
than to technique and apparatus, while yet allowing enough freedom to 
avoid becoming itself the main subject of inquiry. 

112 pages. Paper cover. Price $1.00.

The Principles of Teaching 

By EDWARD L. THORNDIKE 

The aim of this book is to make the study of teaching scientific and 
practical — scientific in the sense of dealing with verifiable facts rather 
than attractive opinions, practical in the sense of giving knowledge and 
power that will make a difference in the actual work of teaching. It 
follows the example of the better books on education in basing principles 
of teaching upon the laws of psychology; it makes use of modern scien- 
tific psychology and especially of the recent investigations in genetic 
and dynamic psychology; it seeks to make use also of the direct studies 
or teaching itself which have been made by qualified experts; it is ar- 
ranged as a manual to guide the student in applying principles himself 
rather than as a series of discussions to be thought out or, more often, 
to be simply absorbed.
